I have to agree.. the pictures ARE fun!! HOWEVER..this is does not seem to be the case for all the listers, for some it can, and seems to have, cause excessive download time, garbled digests and over all appears to adversely compromise the purpose and enjoyment of the primary purposes of this list. On another server, we did have a spot to post pictures, but I believe that was not utilized as would have been expected as there was no "guarantee" that the pictures would be seen by many of the listers.. only those who chose to visit the site. The impact of pictures is lost when descriptors (such as is possible when they are embedded in an e-mail) are not available. In essence, we want it quick and we want it easy...and we are hearing that even in this trial "quick and easy" was most definitely not the case for many. There are plenty of GSD lists that are for fun, and sharing pictures, jokes and the like..I suggest ShowGSD-L remain as it has been - in its current tried and true format.
